EDUCATION SPONSORSHIPS
High school is not a free opportunity in African countries. There are many bright and talented, dream filled teenagers wishing for the funds to get a uniform, books and attend their local school. Students chosen to receive sponsorship is determined by the village leaders and government officials, based on poverty level, circumstances and application.
Giving Basics Donors currently sponsor students in Malawi and Togo.
Public Secondary School Sponsorship (High School) costs $360 per student for one year.
Private/Boarding Secondary School costs $1200 per student for one year.
The cost for university (UNILIA) is $2,100 per student for one year.
Our desire is that a sponsor would commit to sponsoring their student for 4 years to ensure they are financially equipped to finish what they have started.
If you have questions about sponsorship or hosting, please contact us.

Giving Basics applies a bottom-up approach when serving in foreign countries. First, we listen to the needs and dreams presented by communities, villages and churches. Then we pray for God's wisdom. Finally, we set up a plan that enables us to work as a team allowing the communities, villages and churches we come alongside to put in a large percentage of labor and expertise into the overall completion of projects. Working hand in hand - Giving Basics feels this is the strongest way to implement lasting impact and change.
